SUBJECT: Closure of the Western Carolina University Landfill
Permit 450-01
Dear Mr. Comrie:
The Solid Waste Section (the Section) has received and reviewed documentation submitted by your
consultant, Jensen Engineering, on your behalf regarding the subject facility. Based on this
documentation, the Section has determined that the subject facility has been closed in accordance with
the applicable requirements. This determination may be rescinded should any of the documentation
prove to be inaccurate.
The subject facility is considered closed subject to the attached post closure conditions. The owner
of the facility, Western Carolina University, is responsible for compliance with these conditions.
This closure shall become effective upon written notification by Western Carolina University
that the facility shall be maintained in compliance with the post closure conditions specified
in this letter. Also, Rule .0510 states that when a disposal unit is closed, the permit to operate that
unit is terminated and any future disposal operations will require approval by the Section.

Closure Letter
POST CLOSURE CONDITIONS
I.- MANAGEMENT OF LANDFILL GAS: The owner shall take the measures necessary to
ensure that the closed site shall continue to meet the design standards for landfill gas found
in Rule .0503(2)(a).
2. MANAGEMENT OF SURFACE WATER: The owner shall take the measures
necessary to ensure that the closed site shall meet the requirements of Rule .0503(2)(c). In
addition, the landfill unit shall be maintained such that surface water runoff occurs in a
controlled manner, and surface water shall not be impounded over waste.
3. AIR QUALITY: The owner shall ensure that landfill units do not violate any applicable
requirements developed under a State Implementation Plan approved or promulgated by the
U.S. EPA Administrator pursuant to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act, as amended.
4. FINAL COVER SYSTEM: The integrity and effectiveness of the final cover system and any
permanent erosion control devices must be maintained. This could include making repairs to
the cover as necessary to correct the effects of settlement, subsidence, erosion, or other
events.
PROPOSED USES: The owner shall submit a proposal for the Section's review and
approval addressing post closure uses of the facility. Proposed post closure uses shall not
violate any post closure conditions found in this letter. In particular, plans for post closure
uses shall avoid possibilities for the entrapment of methane gas. Routine landfill gas
monitoring within structures and at the facility boundary may not be sufficient to detect
potentially dangerous situations.
6. ONGOING SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES: Continuing solid waste
management activities (e.g. yard waste composting, scrap tire collection, solid waste transfer)
shall not violate any post closure conditions found in this letter, and must meet any other
applicable requirements.
7. RECORDATION: The owner shall ensure that the recordation requirements for land
disposal sites found in Rule .0204 are met.

required.

Section.

in a tim-ly manner.
